Hi friends!

I taunted you with this recipe a couple weeks ago on Instagram. Today I present to you: Peanut Butter Avocado Cookies! Yep, you read that right. I promise you can’t taste the avocado. Check out how easy they are to make!

This is the first cookie experiment I’ve done in a while…and after 3 tries, I think they’re pretty darn good! Plus the recipe is super simple. I didn’t even use any flour.

Funny, I just made a loaf of banana muffins with avocado and it’s SO good. I actually prefer it to any other healthy banana muffins I’ve made so far! These look absolutely delicious, I love the texture avocado gives to baked goods. Yum.

I’ve seen so many recipes lately for avocado pudding, but this is the first cookie recipe that I’ve seen – I’m an avo addict [according to my hubby] so we always have some in the house, I’ll have to try it!

I love how simple this recipe is and that it uses zero flour and no added sugar! I’ve always been a little bit hesitant to add avocados into my cookies and other baked goodies but you’ve convinced me that I finally need to try it!

Yay! I love that you didn’t use any flour and they can easily be gluten free with the right oats, perfect! Do you taste the avocado a lot? Or is it one of those flavors that blends into the background and it’s mostly peanut butter? I’m curious!

I saw your Instagram and had to high-tail it over here for the deets. Love this idea! I’d have never, ever guessed your “secret green ingredient” was avocado! Store day today so I’ll pick up a few more Avs. Mmmmm. Thanks for posting this!

Just to let you know I have used this recipe as my go-to cookie recipe for a while now and have impressed many people with the delicious texture of these cookies-only to surprise them that the secret is avocado! Everyone loves these and I cant get enough of them. Thanks for bringing these into this world:D

Thanks a bunch for posting the recipe! I found the same recipe elsewhere, but they removed it. I use half avocado/half peanut butter. Comes out wetter, so I add another half cup of oatmeal. I found avocado honey, so that’s a bonus. I have an avocado tree, so double bonus!

I made these and really like them. I plan on making these again! I changed it, though, and here’s how:
Added vanilla extract
Added cocoa powder (made it a chocolate cookie)
Added extra chocolate chips (there was some left in the bag)
And, I wasn’t perfect in measurements.
But, these were amazing! Thank you so much for the recipe. I found it through Pinterest and another blogger.
